“Corra’s work is searingly brave and beautiful … he has an uncanny ability to connect with people – any kind of person – on film.” Filmmaker Magazine

Corra Films is the birthplace of “living cinema” – collapsing the boundaries between art and life.

Our company was founded in 1994 by filmmaker Henry Corra, a protégé of documentary pioneer David Maysles. Corra’s work has inspired a generation of non-fiction filmmakers. Under his direction, we are a passionate ensemble of New York’s most innovative talent.

Our films are seen by millions around the world: in theaters, on television, and across the web. They provoke profound engagement and dialogue. We make groundbreaking and award-winning non-fiction features. We help the top global brands define themselves with real people tv commercials and branded content. We lead the charge on the most urgent advocacy campaigns. And, always, we help powerfully unique individuals leave lasting and timeless legacies.

It’s personal.

We forge real relationships with our subjects and their stories, connecting in ways our audience can directly sense. We are on a mission to do work that transforms ourselves, our subjects, and our audience.
